I was so happy to watch today Ferrero playing live for the first time here in my city, but unfortunaly he lost. He looked really strange today, complaning about everything. He was angry with the chair umpire and also with Mayer, they had a little hard talk during the match. In the end of the match Ferrero refuse to give interview on the court and didn't sign any autograph to the crowd, wich was supporting him during the whole match. But it's ok, he just must be really upset about the result. I hope to see him in São Paulo nex year again. I took some pics, i will try to upload later.

Aw, Juan Carlos-too bad. He did help Spain advance in Davis Cup, though. That's something positive.

Many thanks for the report!
Maybe it just wasn't JC's day.
Looking forward to the pics though!

Didn't watch the whole match but saw a few points. JCF was definitely not fully focused and motivated. Playing 1st round of a 250 in a big empty stadium, it was understandable.

No biggie. On to Buenos Aires.
